A set of 7 lessons and additional resources on David Attenborough’s Davos speech The Garden of Eden is No More, his COP26 Climate Summit Glasgow Speech, and his 2021 address to the UN Security Council. Lessons focus on rhetoric, summary, and comparison. There is also a persuasive writing lesson on the importance of the environment, inspired by his activism.

In addition, a worksheet on and inspired by David Attenborough, comprehension questions for Planet Earth and A Life On Our Planet have been included.

Due to copyright, some of Attenborough’s speeches are not included, but a link to each is in the notes of the first slide of each lesson that uses it. They can also be found online.
